- Please refer to
FIG. 1 toFIG. 4 . In a first aspect, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides an LCD panel, including: afirst substrate 1, wherein thefirst substrate 1 includes afirst electrode layer 11 and asecond electrode layer 12, an insulatinglayer 13 is disposed between thefirst electrode layer 11 and thesecond electrode layer 12, and a first alignment layer is disposed on thesecond electrode layer 12; asecond substrate 2, wherein thesecond substrate 2 includes athird electrode layer 21, and a second alignment layer is disposed on thethird electrode layer 21; aliquid crystal layer 3, wherein theliquid crystal layer 3 is disposed between the first alignment layer and the second alignment layer, and a material of theliquid crystal layer 3 includes a dual-frequency liquid crystal composition; afirst polarization layer 4, wherein thefirst polarization layer 4 is disposed on a surface of thefirst substrate 1 away from theliquid crystal layer 3; and asecond polarization layer 5, wherein thesecond polarization layer 5 is disposed on a surface of thesecond substrate 2 away from theliquid crystal layer 3. - The
first substrate 1 and thesecond substrate 2 are disposed opposite to each other, thefirst substrate 1 is a thin film transistor (TFT) substrate, and thesecond substrate 2 is a color filter (CF) substrate. Liquid crystals near the first alignment layer are undersideliquid crystals 6, liquid crystals near the second alignment layer are upper side liquid crystals 7, and an angle between an arrangement direction of the first alignment layer and an arrangement direction of the second alignment layer is 90 degrees. That is, a long axis of the upper side liquid crystals 7 is perpendicular to a long axis of theunderside liquid crystals 6 when a voltage is not applied thereto, and the arrangement direction of the underliquid crystals 6 is oriented at 90 degrees with respect to the arrangement direction of the upper side liquid crystals 7. - The
first polarization layer 4 is a first polarizer, thefirst polarizer layer 4 is attached to the surface of thefirst substrate 1 away from theliquid crystal layer 3. Similarly, thesecond polarization layer 5 is a second polarizer, thesecond polarizer layer 5 is attached to the surface of thesecond substrate 2 away from theliquid crystal layer 3. When a transmittance axis of the first polarizer is perpendicular to a transmittance axis of the second polarizer, the LCD panel is in a normal white mode. When the transmittance axis of the first polarizer is parallel to the transmittance axis of the second polarizer, the LCD is in a normal black mode. - In some embodiments, the
second electrode layer 12 is made of indium tin oxide (ITO) and includes at least twoelectrode units 121. A slit is defined between the at least twoelectrode units 121 which are parallel to each other. For example, as shown inFIG. 2 , the second electrode layer includes eight strip-shapedelectrode units 121, and a plurality of slits are defined between the strip-shapedelectrode units 121 which are parallel to each other. - In some embodiments, the first alignment layer is aligned in a direction tiled from the electrode units. When a voltage is applied to liquid crystal molecules, an arrangement direction of the liquid crystal molecules is neither perpendicular nor parallel to an electric field line, thereby allowing the liquid crystal molecules to orient along an electric field. For instance, as shown in
FIG. 2 , an arrangement direction of theunderside liquid crystals 6 is oriented at 90 degrees with respect to an arrangement direction of the upperside liquid crystals 6, and the first alignment layer is aligned in a direction tiled from theelectrode units 121. In other words, when a voltage is not applied to the liquid crystal molecules, an angle between the long axis of theunderside liquid crystals 6 and theelectrode units 121 ranges from 90 degrees to 100 degrees. - The
liquid crystal layer 3 includes a dual-frequency liquid crystal composition, which is a mixture of positive liquid crystals and negative liquid crystals. Driven by voltages with different frequencies, the dual-frequency liquid crystal composition may have both properties of the positive liquid crystals and negative liquid crystals. Dielectric constant of the dual-frequency liquid crystal composition may change along with a change in frequency of an electric field applied to the dual-frequency liquid crystal composition. The dielectric constant of the dual-frequency liquid crystal composition may change from a positive value to a negative value, resulting from retarded polarization of molecules due to rapid changes of an electric field. The phenomenon mainly happens in the positive liquid crystals under variable frequency electric fields. This is because the positive liquid crystals in the dual-frequency liquid crystal composition have a greater polarity and a longer conjugate structure, which are generally considered beneficial to the phenomenon. Therefore, the present embodiment adopts the positive liquid crystals with a specific structure and adjusts a mass ratio of the positive liquid crystals and the negative liquid crystals, so that the dielectric constant of the dual-frequency liquid crystal composition may significantly change along with a change in frequency of an electric field applied to the dual-frequency liquid crystal composition which can be used in the LCD panel of the present embodiment. - In some embodiments, the dual-frequency liquid crystal composition includes 60% to 75% mass ratio of the positive liquid crystals and 25% to 40% mass ratio of the negative liquid crystals.
- In some embodiments, the positive liquid crystals include a plurality of first compounds represented by a general formula as follows:

For example, A1, A2, and A3 may be a benzene ring, cyclohexane, or a five-membered ring.

- A working principle of the LCD panel provided by the present embodiment is described as follows.
- When a working temperature is below 0° C., a high frequency electric field is applied between the
first electrode 11 and thesecond electrode 12. Theliquid crystal layer 3 has a property of negative liquid crystals and is controlled by fringe field switching (FFS) technology to display. Because a display frequency is increased, the display panel emits more heat. Therefore, a working temperature of the display panel can be increased without adding a heating element. - When a working temperature is above 0° C., the display panel is driven at low frequency. Voltages applied to the
first electrode 11 and thesecond electrode 12 are same, but are different from a voltage applied to thethird electrode 21, thereby forming a potential difference. Theliquid crystal layer 3 has a property of positive liquid crystals and is controlled by twisted nematic (TN) technology to display. - For example, in the LCD panel, a transmittance axis of the
first polarization layer 4 is perpendicular to a transmittance axis of thesecond polarization layer 5. An arrangement direction of theunderside liquid crystals 6 is oriented at 90 degrees with respect to an arrangement direction of the upper side liquid crystals 7 when a voltage is not applied thereto. Therefore, when a voltage is not applied to theliquid crystal layer 3, only unidirectional polarized light remains after incident light passes through thefirst polarization layer 4. Since the arrangement direction of the upper side liquid crystals 7 is oriented at 90 degrees with respect to the arrangement direction of theunderside liquid crystals 6, when light reaches thesecond polarization layer 5, a direction of polarized light is just rotated at 90 degrees, and an angle between a direction of the first polarization and a direction of the second polarization is 90 degrees as well. Therefore, light can pass through thesecond polarization layer 5, and the LCD panel is in a bright state. - When a working temperature of the LCD panel is below 0° C., a high frequency electric field is applied between the
first electrode 11 andsecond electrode 12, and theliquid crystal layer 3 has a property of negative liquid crystals. As shown inFIG. 4 , theliquid crystal layer 3 is controlled by FFS technology to display when a voltage is applied thereto, and the liquid crystal molecules of theliquid crystal layer 3 are parallel to thesecond electrode 12. That is, a long axis of the liquid crystal molecules is parallel to thesecond electrode 12. Because there are no effective optical path differences, light cannot pass through thesecond polarization layer 5, and the LCD panel is in a dark state. Because the LCD panel is driven at high frequency, a display frequency is increased. Therefore, the display panel emits more heat, and a working temperature of the display panel is increased without adding a heating element. - When a working temperature of the LCD panel is above 0° C., voltages applied to the
first electrode 11 and thesecond electrode 12 are same, but are different from a voltage applied to thethird electrode 21, thereby forming a potential difference. In addition, the LCD panel is driven at low frequency ranging from 30 Hz to 300 Hz (60 Hz is preferred), and theliquid crystal layer 3 has a property of positive liquid crystals. As shown inFIG. 3 , the liquid crystal molecules of theliquid crystal layer 3 are in an erected state between thesecond electrode 12 and thethird electrode 21 when a voltage is applied to theliquid crystal layer 3. That is, the long axis of the liquid crystal molecules is parallel to an electric field line. As a result, extending path of unidirectional polarized light passing through thesecond polarization layer 5 will not be changed when passing through the liquid crystal molecules. Therefore, light cannot pass through thefirst polarization layer 4, and the display panel is in a dark state. - In a second aspect, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method of manufacturing the display panel disclosed in the first aspect, as shown in
FIG. 5 , including following steps: - Step 1: providing a first substrate, sequentially forming a first electrode layer, an insulating layer, and a second electrode layer on a surface of the first substrate, and forming a first alignment layer on the second electrode layer.
- Step 2: providing a second substrate, forming a third electrode layer on a surface of the second substrate, and forming a second alignment layer on the third electrode layer.
- Step 3: filling a dual-frequency liquid crystal composition between the first substrate and the second substrate to form a liquid crystal layer disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate.
- Step 4: aligning the liquid crystal layer.
- Step 5: respectively forming a first polarization layer and a second polarization layer on a surface of the first substrate away from the liquid crystal layer and a surface of the second substrate away from the liquid crystal layer to form the LCD panel.
- It should be noted that the liquid crystal layer in the
step 3 may be formed by conventional methods in the art, which is not described here. The first polarization layer and the second polarization layer in thestep 5 may be formed by conventional methods in the art, which is not described here. - In the
step 4, the liquid crystal layer may be aligned by frictional rubbing or light. - Specifically, the first alignment layer and the second alignment layer may be aligned by frictional rubbing: first respectively rubbing the first alignment layer and the second alignment layer with a cloth roller to form a plurality of tunnels thereon, and then washing surfaces of the first alignment layer and the second alignment layer with deionized water. The liquid crystal molecules of the liquid crystal layer are aligned along the tunnels on the first alignment layer and the second alignment layer.
- Specifically, the first alignment layer and the second alignment layer may be aligned by light: reactive monomers in the liquid crystal layer are polymerized after being irradiated with ultraviolet (UV) light, thereby curing surfaces of the first alignment layer and the second alignment layer. During a UV light irradiating process, an electrical power supply is always applied to the above two alignment layers. The reactive monomers are moved to the surfaces of the first alignment layer and the second alignment layer along a direction of a predetermined tilt angle under an electric field and anchoring forces of the first alignment layer and the second alignment layer. After that, the surfaces of the first alignment layer and the second alignment layer are curved, and an alignment process is finished.
- In a third aspect, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides an LCD device, including a backlight module and an LCD panel. The backlight module is configured to provide a light source for the LCD panel. The LCD panel described in the present embodiment is the LCD panel disclosed by the first aspect, and is not illustrated again here.

For example, the backlight module may include a light source, a light guide plate, a reflection plate, a diffusion plate, and a prism sheet, which are stacked on one another. Light emitted from the light source spreads everywhere by the light guide plate. Then, all of light is concentrated onto the liquid crystal molecules by the reflection plate. Finally, light is evenly emitted through the prism sheet and the diffusion plate, thereby preventing a middle portion of the LCD panel from being overly bright. and preventing a portion of the LCD panel surrounding the middle portion from being overly dark.
- It should be noted that many changes and modifications to the described embodiment can be carried out by those skilled in the art, and all such changes and modifications are intended to be included within the scope of the appended claims.
